Hey guys/gals! Just wanted to ask something. I've used Discreet's 3ds Max for some time...yuck! I decided to switch mac! I'm just wondering...which is better for full length 3D films:

Maya
Lightwave
Universe
Other?

Thank you very much for any help you can offer.

Rick.

Cinema 4D ARE good too

maybe not for a quite long movie, but is easy to learn and the interface have some similarities with maya ,so u can jump from it, by the way in www.architosh.com theres a 3D firm -LuminetIK who uses both (Maya and LightWave)

heres the link:

so maybe u can take a look, its a really nice interview for people interested in any kind of 3D works

on the subject of 3D software...

what do all you 3D people think about XSI Experience demo software? i just filled out the request form for it. i was just wondering if people thought it was worth it? i read somewhere that you can't save. hopefully it doesn't have the watermarks like Maya PLE.
